April 27, 200520 yr Im a maybe, depends on how the WCSS show trip and the van turn out to be. 2 ppl, 1 dog, 1 vehicle.
April 29, 200520 yr Author okay, I've got a shelter house (Cottonwood #4) reserved, and there's 104 parking spaces there. There are a couple of different camping areas available there as well. I will be checking them out, then probably will do a group reserve. on weekends, for camping it's a 2 night minimum.... so Friday/Saturday night.... here's a link to the site. http://www.saylorvillelake.org/ will follow up with more info after I check things out a little more....
April 29, 200520 yr Hey Mick need help with anything at all??? IM either Tim or Me, (Youll get help faster from me) lol he forgets!!! What about the cost for the shelter did it cost anything and should we all pitch in??? Vicky
April 29, 200520 yr Salorville is a great area! Went there quite a few times when I lived in IA. You guys will surely have a blast there.

What about the cost for the shelter did it cost anything and should we all pitch in??? Vicky nah, I've got it covered..... I've got a couple offers of help from some NASIOC guys in DSM...
May 5, 200520 yr I went to the site, looks really nice but I don't think they look like the kind of folks who appriciate off-roading....... . Tim
May 5, 200520 yr Author yeah, probably not... though I have contacts who know of some "places" to go, though they are not official...
May 7, 200520 yr Mick count me in.This is absolutely perfect.That is the date for the Sturgis Motor Cycle Rally.My least favorite time of the year.I will probably be attending by myself.Tim and Vicky I will be getting ahold of you for travel plans.Shawn if you want to caravan across SD with me just let me know in a pm.Dave.
May 26, 200520 yr Just to clarifiy; The event is the 6th-7th, (sat,sun) but the camping is the 5th & 6th.(fri,sat) I'll likely be leaving after work on Fri, and won't hit Iowa till Sat morn. Gonna need to sleep in there somewhere...SO, When are most people planning to get/be there? Should I push on into DSM to get in on early Sat stuff, or should I sleep & aim for Sat eve or Sun? I'll be staying w/ Mom, 45 min away, so once there, I can be in DSM within an hour. I realize it's early for detailed details, just got to thinkin, and don't want to miss out on possible fun. (like 2 miles of bottomless mud .)

(like 2 miles of bottomless mud .) Event is kind of a strong word basically it's a fairly un-organized gathering of soobie freaks, with the main "show" being on Saturday the 6th at the shelter, and it's a BYOBev/Food deal, as there won't be enough people to warrant the same facilities as WCSS7 . the rest of the time (friday night, saturday night, sunday morning) it's a USMB campout. I will have some driving routes laid out just for "cruising" the local places of interest, but Polk County is like 99.8% paved, so no bottomless mud this time around.... I need to get going on getting the camping spots, so please, everyone, let me know if you need a camping spot... I need to dig my notes out again and see how we can work it....
